The Navigator had a Raytheon system on it that was calibrated for the

It was accurate to 2.8 feet. Ask me why I know.

The simple guess would be that your boat needed 2.9? Good to see
you stop back in.. We have all been working very hard to keep it nice
while you were away...


Heh...

well, the boat drew 4.5', but with the programmed offset, I was good to
2'9". 2'8" meant I just went aground.
